Delhi · DEL · Indira Gandhi International
A private car from Delhi airport (DEL) to central Delhi, Gurugram, Noida or further, with a named chauffeur, your flight tracked and a full quote before you pay.
Nothing is charged until you accept the quote.
At a glance
Every international flight into Delhi arrives at Terminal 3, and the Airport Express metro that serves it does not run through the night. Universal Airport Transfer arranges a pre-booked private car with a named chauffeur from Indira Gandhi International to central Delhi, Gurugram or Noida, or further, to Agra or Jaipur. We track your flight, your chauffeur waits 30 minutes from your flight’s actual arrival time, and you see a full quote before you pay, including any late-night or short-notice charges.

Moving between T3 and T1 or T2 means leaving one building and crossing landside to the other. Even on one ticket (a single PNR), the airport’s guidance for a change of terminal has you collect your bags before you leave, so confirm the baggage arrangement with your airline. If you flew in from abroad, immigration and customs at T3 come first. On two separate tickets you then check in again from scratch at the next terminal. This is how that landside trip works.
| Terminal change | The airport’s free option | Where to find it | When a pre-booked car makes sense |
|---|---|---|---|
| T3 to T1 | Inter-terminal shuttle bus, listed as running round the clock | Follow the signs from baggage claim to the kiosk near Pillar 10 at T3 arrivals, and show your onward boarding pass there for a free coupon. | A family, heavy or awkward bags, a small-hours landing, or not much time before T1 check-in closes. |
| T3 to T2 | A short walk through the pedestrian tunnel; the airport also runs its own free buggy service | The tunnel starts at Pillar 18 on the T3 side. A shuttle from near Pillar 10 also runs to T2. | Rarely: the terminals are next door. Only worth it if you are moving a lot of luggage on your own late at night. |
| T1 to T3 | The same inter-terminal shuttle, in the other direction | Lane 1 at T1 arrivals, after the baggage hall; a boarding pass gets you the coupon here too | A domestic arrival feeding an international departure late in the evening, or a group travelling with a lot of luggage. |
All international departures leave from T3, where you check in again and then clear emigration. The airport lets ticketed passengers into a terminal four hours before a domestic departure and six hours before an international one, so a long gap between separate tickets can mean waiting landside. Allow time for waiting at the stop as well as for the ride itself.
Price
Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking. These are the things that move it. Nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Tolls, where they apply, are either included in it or shown in it as an additional charge, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
When you land
Delhi’s terminals sit on two sites: T2 and T3 side by side, and T1 on its own to the east. Every international arrival comes into T3, clears immigration and customs there, and walks out on the lower of the terminal’s two levels.
If you are a foreign national or an OCI cardholder, get India’s e-Arrival card done before you board; the questions below say where. On a domestic flight into Delhi, check the terminal on your boarding pass, because one airline can use more than one terminal here.
Indian nationals and OCI cardholders enrolled in the Fast Track Immigration–Trusted Traveller Programme (FTI-TTP), which takes fingerprints and a face image in advance, can use its e-gates at Delhi. Everyone else queues at the staffed counters.
Collect your bags, clear customs and come out on T3’s arrivals level. Land at T1 or T2 on a domestic flight and there is no immigration: you go straight to the baggage hall.
Your chauffeur is named before pickup, and the booking desk tells you where to meet. The 30-minute wait counts from your flight’s actual arrival, so switch your phone on as soon as you can: if you have not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted, the booking is treated as a no-show.
The airport roads feed NH-48, the Delhi–Gurugram Expressway, which runs north-east to Dhaula Kuan for central Delhi and south to Gurugram. The Dwarka Expressway (NH-248BB), which leaves NH-48 at Shiv Murti near Mahipalpur, is a second road towards Gurugram and one way out towards Jaipur. How long any of it takes depends heavily on the time of day.
Delhi’s terminal split keeps moving: T2 reopened in October 2025, a block of Air India domestic flights was assigned to T2 from 1 June 2026, and Pier C at T3 was announced as switching to international flights in September 2026. Go by the terminal printed on your ticket, look at it again a day or two before you fly (the airport’s website has a search by flight number), and let us know if it has changed.
Delhi and beyond
Road distances from T3 and typical journey times, taken from map routing in September 2026. They are ranges rather than promises, because Delhi traffic decides most of them. A ride straight from the airport is an arrival transfer; a later run between two cities is point to point.
The hotel and office district beside the airport, about 7 km from T3 by road and the next stop on the Airport Express Line. The airport itself points long-layover passengers here, which makes it a practical base for a long gap between two flights on separate tickets.
Connaught Place is about 19 to 20 km by road, usually 25 to 50 minutes, up NH-48 past Dhaula Kuan. Give us the full address rather than just the area: the centre is spread out, and the last few kilometres change with it.
Cyber City is about 11 to 13 km south along NH-48, usually 15 to 40 minutes, and addresses deeper into Gurugram add distance. If the car needs to stay with you between meetings, the hourly chauffeur service holds it for a block of hours.
Noida’s Sector 18 is about 30 to 34 km east across the Yamuna, by the Ring Road or the DND Flyway, usually 45 minutes to an hour and a half. Greater Noida is about 52 to 56 km along the Noida–Greater Noida Expressway, commonly one to two hours. From T1, the Magenta Line metro runs through to Botanical Garden in Noida.
About 215 to 235 km, usually three and a half to five hours. The main road is the Yamuna Expressway, a six-lane, access-controlled road of about 165 km from Greater Noida to Agra along the east bank of the Yamuna; the older NH-44 through Faridabad and Mathura is the alternative. For a run this long, an SUV or executive saloon, in any class, gives more room for bags. Going on to Jaipur afterwards is a separate point-to-point run with its own quote.
About 255 km on NH-48 through Gurugram, or about 290 km using the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, which can be quicker despite the extra distance. Allow roughly four and a half to six hours, and longer if you set off at a busy time of day.
DEL
Indira Gandhi International is at Palam, on the south-western side of the city, with Gurugram just beyond it to the south. Airports Council International ranked it 11th among the world’s busiest airports for 2025, with about 78 million passengers. The terminals are on two sites: T2 and T3 stand together, while T1 is a separate building to the east with its own metro line. Dense fog is common from mid-December to February and can hold up flights, departures more than arrivals.
Terminals Three passenger terminals. T3 handles every international flight plus some domestic ones; T1 and T2 are domestic only, and T2 reopened after an upgrade in October 2025. When you ask for a quote, give us your flight number and the terminal shown on your booking.

Questions
T3, if you are flying in from abroad: every international flight uses it. Domestic flights are spread across all three terminals, and IndiGo and Air India split theirs by flight number, so two flights on one airline can use different buildings. Send us the terminal on your boarding pass with the quote request.
If you are a foreign national or an OCI cardholder, it applies to you, and doing it before you fly saves time at T3. The Bureau of Immigration says the card can be submitted online in the 72 hours before arrival, on its own site or at indianvisaonline.gov.in, or through the Indian Visa Su-Swagatam app. It records arrival details only and does not replace a visa.
Thirty minutes, counted from your flight’s actual arrival time rather than the scheduled one. Waiting beyond that can carry an additional charge, so if the queue looks long, message the booking desk on WhatsApp and keep your phone on. Indian nationals and OCI cardholders who fly often can enrol in FTI-TTP and use the e-gates instead of the counters.
We track the flight, so the 30-minute wait starts when it actually arrives, not when it was due. The airport says fog is common from mid-December to February. The airport has CAT IIIB instrument landing systems, and aircraft can land with as little as 50 m of runway visibility but normally need more than 125 m to take off, so departures tend to be held longer than arrivals. On a foggy morning, check with your airline before you leave for a departure.
Not always: the airport’s free inter-terminal shuttle covers that trip, and it is the sensible choice if you travel light and have time in hand. On separate tickets you first clear immigration and customs with your bags, then collect a free shuttle coupon at the kiosk near Pillar 10 by showing your onward boarding pass. A car earns its place when you are a family, carry heavy or awkward bags, land in the small hours, or have little margin before check-in closes at T1. Book it as a terminal-to-terminal transfer with both flight numbers: the chauffeur times the pickup to your arriving flight and the desk keeps an eye on the onward one.
Yes, from early morning until late evening. The Airport Express Line stops at T3 and takes around 25 minutes to New Delhi Railway Station, according to the airport. It does not run overnight: the airport lists the first trains at 4.45am from both Dwarka Sector 21 and New Delhi, and the last at 11.15pm from Dwarka Sector 21 and 11.30pm from New Delhi. DTC buses run around the clock from T3 arrivals. The metro suits a light traveller staying near the line; a pre-booked chauffeur suits a small-hours landing, heavy luggage or an address away from the line.
Yes. A run from the airport to an address in Agra or Jaipur is quoted like any other arrival, on distance and vehicle class, with any expressway tolls on the way either included in the quote or shown in it as an extra. Agra is roughly 215 to 235 km away and Jaipur roughly 255 to 290 km, depending on the road, so tell us exactly where you are staying. Later legs of the trip, such as Agra to Jaipur, are booked as separate point-to-point runs.
Send the form with your flight number, terminal, address and bags, and a full quote usually follows within two hours, with any late-night, public holiday or short-notice charges already in it. You pay by secure payment link or bank transfer, and the booking is confirmed once payment arrives. Under the standard policy you can change or cancel up to 48 hours before your flight, less any costs already incurred; inside 48 hours full charges apply, and a few airports and services differ.
